@BonifaceOption We get so few of these I’ll take what I can get. Looks promising even if it’s not perfect

@ryanburge @LokiJulianus I wonder what this would look like if it were broken down by age

@luisbrulard @GraduatedBen I’m with you. Lots of problems to fix. But let’s face it, most guys aren’t ordering DoorDash and Dominos because they’re unwilling to have an illicit air fryer. It’s convenient and it tastes good so they buy it, same as the junk food from the PX

@aidannonx The good news is that the money thing is definitely exponential. A 5’8” guy doesn’t have to make nearly as much to compensate as the 5’6” guy. Stay strong, average height king

I believe the Shroud of Turin was forged by a medieval artist. I believe he chose a very expensive linen cloth to wow only the very few who would notice, matched the Gospel accounts in extraordinary detail, rejected the artistic conventions of his own time in many ways for the only known time in history, depicted crucifixion with striking anatomical realism, used real blood or blood-derived material instead of simply painting the wounds, created an unremarkable faint image whose most remarkable property would not be recognized until photography revealed it as a negative more than five centuries later, embedded three-dimensional image information that would only be discovered with modern image analysis, produced an image so superficial that modern microscopy still can’t explain it, anticipated details that align perfeclty with modern forensic understanding of crucifixion, executed the entire work without mistakes or corrections on a valuable cloth, he nailed it without error in one shot, invented a technique that no one has convincingly reproduced, left no record of how he did it, inspired no known followers, and did it to wow only us centuries later as nobody viewing the work at the time would even see it for what it is, and then disappeared from history without anyone ever mentioning the greatest technical achievement of medieval art.

@HowIMineFish @dyingscribe Have we considered the possibility that he just sucks at cheating?

@ScottMa82887297 @Mar_Musa As for the book - it reads as well-researched and a profile of those men’s lives. I’m sure someone more knowledgeable than I could attack it for lacking context in certain areas maybe, but the core facts are solid. I liked it because it introduces people that are rarely appreciat

@ScottMa82887297 @Mar_Musa Not sure which crusade you’re referring too, but the Mongols did become Muslim by the 1300s, with the exception of the ones centered around China

[Matt Michael @HanSho1st]

@ScottMa82887297 @Mar_Musa Sounds good. You may be interested in A Splendid Exchange too. It’s a history of trade and I thought the early chapters from the Bronze Age to the Black Plague were really good
